Passengers were warned to avoid one of the country’s busiest railway stations
last night after floods brought it to a halt at the height of the evening
rush hour.

Trains were unable to run between London Paddington and Reading after flooding
at Maidenhead knocked out signals on the Great Western Railway. As
passengers faced the prospect of continued severe disruption this morning ,
Network Rail warned that it expected the winter storms to disrupt travel on
the railway for several months to come.
